Forums >Gears and Wears>If you rotate two or more pairs of shoes, when do you start with the 2nd pair? the 3rd pair?

That sounds like a real pain. Where do you store them? Do you have friends who each live 100 miles away in different directions? And you sure must use a lot of gas to get to your shoes. Its a cool way to make sure that you run different routes tho, so I guess there is that. But you must spend so much time in your car driving between pairs of shoes.

Like others, I start both pairs at the same time. Mine tend to last about 350-400 miles before I start getting minor joint soreness. I alternate days between the pairs. That gives each a chance to dry out (after all, there's nothing worse that putting on damp shoes) and the midsoles a little more time to decompress.
Also, about three years ago I started getting two different brands/makes every time I buy. That way I'll always have a go-to shoe in case one of the manufacturers discontinues one of the models. In addition, they give my foot a slightly different ride, which I think helps muscles and joints make minor adjustments more easily.
an amazing likeness
I have no system. When a pair gets old, I replace the shoes. When I have new shoes, I start wearing them. Sometimes they all have the same milage and sometimes the milage is separated by 200+ miles.
+1, as they say (or post).
But I do label them with a Sharpie marker with a number because it really stinks to get a few miles into a run and discover you're wearing the left from one pair and the right from another and there's 400 miles difference between the two. That doesn't feel good, messes with the mind.
